David Tua Destroys Shane Cameron in Two Rounds

After several years of trash talk and multiple postponements, the New Zealand "fight of the century" was held at the Mystery Creek Events Centre. In his first fight in over two years, heavyweight David Tua (50-3, 43KOs) returned to the ring and crushed his hometown rival Shane Cameron (23-2, 20KOs) in two rounds.

Some were afraid the fight might turn into a mismatch, and that's exactly what they got. Tua came out with a fury in the first round, hurting Cameron with a hook and dropping him twice before the round was over. Cameron was saved by the bell but he never recovered. Tua jumped on him with an arsenal of punches in the second round to force the stoppage.

Tua was in shape and looked like the Tua of old. He wants a title shot in 2010.
